CPKC 2816 Event at Kansas City Union Station!!

[@danielmink9028]

I live in the eastern side of Oklahoma, the old KCS tracks snake their way through the Ozark foothills, and I can't wait to see the new paint scheme on the new CPKC locos!

[@tacfoley4443]

This is one of the best movies in the trip!! Thanks, Train Man!

[@MrBnsftrain]

So the Patrick Henry cars came in on the River Runner! I haven't seen private cars on that train in over a decade!

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

This was my first time seeing private cars on the River runner ever. The Patrick Henry cars sometimes stay in Kansas City for a while and I can clarify because I've seen them in the sidings twice with other private cars.

I was there! I’m really glad to have been able to attend.

It was a very fun day but was also a very hot day but asides from that still a fun time

[@kansasstatealerting717]

@@UnionPacificTrainMan1988 Yeah, it was very hot lol. I recorded 9375 starting up, which was very cool!!

[@SanMarinos]

I was there too! It was awesome seeing the new CPKC livery and the 2816! Did you chase it at night because I did on its way to the yard

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

It was a very fun time to be there but unfortunately I didn't get to see 2816 head back to the yard due to the fact I had a 3 hour drive back home so yeah and rather unfortunately 2816 has hit very bad luck in Mexico which I'm not surprised but hope 2816 to come back home safe. Thanks for Watching!

[@SanMarinos]

@@UnionPacificTrainMan1988 bad luck in Mexico? What happened?

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

@@SanMarinos upon 2816 entering Mexico a woman near got hit but her phone got flunged out of her hand and not long after another woman was actually stuck and killed while trying to take a selfie of 2816 so yeah bad and tragic stuff.

[@SanMarinos]

@@UnionPacificTrainMan1988 I also just heard that people were throwing rocks at the locomotive! That’s just horrible and I feel sorry for all involved. To be fair though sending a steam locomotive to a country with almost no rail regulations is a big risk

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

@@SanMarinos people throwing rocks at trains in Mexico is not surprising as it has happened many times before but throwing rocks a steam locomotive that just shows that we can't have nice things especially visiting Mexico but without security these things will happen, also there was a rumor going around about 2816's consist being vandalized also so yeah 🤦🤦🤦

[@LiamManley2003]

Some good ol' stuff you got in this video

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

Thanks!

[@southwestkcrailfan5519]

Nice! I went to but i missed 4

[@sargentrowell81]

So there's three ways you can handle a new livery for a new railroad. You can start painting locos the minute you decide you WANT to merge with another and before it's approved (the SPSF Kodachrome way), the start designing it as you wait for approval way, and then this way where you take your sweet ass time and FINALLY debut the new livery over a year after the merger was made official. Glad to finally start seeing this get out there, even if I don't really approve of this particular merger.

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

Yes, as of right now there are two officially painted ES44AC those being CP 9375 and KCS 4805, they were recently put on a manifest bound for St. Paul so they are out there and more to come

[@missouriandmidwesternrailfan]

I heard the steam train going by Elston, MO

[@smokelesschoice165]

Good video. I don't particularly care for the new CPKC paintscheme because it's Option 1 which I figured the company was going to proceed with. I was gunning for either Option 3 or Option 5 but those two paintschemes would cost "more money" to make and the CP shareholders wouldn't want that, ergo Option 1 for their choice --- of course. IMO, this Option 1 choice is a slap in the face to the KCS paintscheme and I told CP that in an email. But obviously they didn't care. No surprise there.

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

Yeah, I don't really care about the CPKC paint scheme either but I filmed it anyway since it's the "New" thing but really CPKC could have done better and probably would have gotten positive feedback but whatever

[@smokelesschoice165]

@@UnionPacificTrainMan1988 Agreed. I know what you mean. Don't get me wrong though, I still hit the Like button for your vid. The CPKC "Burnt Candyapple" paintscheme is a slap in the face to the KCS paintscheme, IMO.

[@JohnLaplante-ig2sw]

Should have had the yellow on the front

[@smokelesschoice165]

@@JohnLaplante-ig2sw They should have lost the white stencils entirely and used yellow stencils instead. That logo is just terrible. The white clashes with the yellow. Option 3 or especially 5 would have been far better, but instead the company is cheap ergo Option 1. If people like it, that's fine. But some of us don't and think that CP could have done better. But, expecting cheapskate shareholders to know that is impossible.

[@COandOH6675]

I went to see CP 2816 in Franklin Park. It was cool!

Does anyone know what those Metrolink bilevels were doing on that Amtrak train?

They were being taken to I believe beach grove to get upgrades and new paint

[@rickpalmer9518]

HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD THE HORABLE other whistle that this engine has (strait off on, no modulating as other whistles,does not belong on a steam engine

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

Yes, I've heard 2816's air whistle and it sounds so bad I wouldn't even call it a whistle I would say its crap as it is. The video where I chased 2816 most of the clips the air whistle is blown but the last clip at Birmingham, Mo they finally blew the 6 chime.
